# Automatic Image wraparound – Possible?

 * Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
 * I have a little question. When images are added to enhance a post in WP 1.5 they
   always end up somewhat like this:
 * `< div class="post-content">
    <p><img src="*" width="187" height="200" alt="Montreal"
   title="Montreal" /></p> <p>My first day here after a day long drive across Ontario
   and into....
 * Which means the Image is stored inside the post-content class and in its own 
   Paragraph. I would like to make sure that the image uses its own class so that
   I can set proper V and hspacing and I do not wish the image to be on its own 
   paragraph. I want text wrap around. Which means, usually the image is on the 
   left side and the Text starts right next to it. Is this something I need to fine
   tweak in the code or is it something that is done in the CSS? I am no HTML/PHP
   guy, I come from a whole different world, so please enlighten me and I will gladly
   dive into it

 * Just to follow up on my own post. I also see things like this:
 * `<div class="post-content">
    <p><img src="*" width="179" height="300" alt="" 
   title="" /> My girl is
 * But even then the wraparound does not happen. This is something that I have seen
   with many themes, I wonder why?

 * Best thing to do is create a class for the images you want to float, if you intend
   to use it several times throughout a page. THe reason for for this is that by
   floating the normal image tag, you would end up floating every image on the site.
 * So do something like this in your css:
 * `img.left {
    float: left; padding: 5px; width: 179px; height: 300px; }
 * btw your height and width are rather large for an image! you don't need to place
   the hright and width values in there, unless you want to specifiy that a certain
   image should only display x amount, otherwise simply don't put them in.
 * then when you post an image use:
 * <div class=”img.left”><img src=”x” alt=”” title=””></div>
 * You can also go to your quicktag.js in your wp-admin folder and open it up (make
   a backup first).
 * Then find one of the blocks, say, the block for strong or em – anything which
   has open and closed tags.
 * then do something like this:
 * `edButtons[edButtons.length] = 
    new edButton('ed_div' ,'image-left' ,'<div class
   ="img.left">' ,'</div>' ,'j' );
 * and save the file. THen you can enter your image info as normal, highlight the
   entire block for the imge and then hit the image-left button in your quicktags
   and it will wrap around the selected text.

 * Thank you, excellent answers! That works like a charm. You might want to consider
   enabling something like this in a plugin or making specific hooks for it, as 
   this is a very common feature someone comming from type-setting will request 
   🙂
